Discovering Vision & Realising Goals
The next step in your leadership development
Back to other courses »About the Course
If you cannot follow, then you cannot lead. Vision is about what you follow. Think about it, the greatest leaders of our time are also the greatest followers. They were and are all following something. That something is vision. Take the vision out of Mandela and you are left with a man who was in prison for 27 years. Take the vision out of Ghandi and you are left with an ordinary man and his stick. But these men had a profound impact on the world. Vision is what distinguished them. How? Well vision transforms people, it keeps them going, it guides them and ensures they don’t buckle under adversity.
Vision is practical, useful, and in our view, indispensable. If you are setting off on a
journey somewhere, is it not useful to know what and where your final destination is? All of the decisions you take regarding what mode of transport you will use, what time
frame you will need to set yourself, and what things you need to bring with you,
will all be guided and based upon what that final destination is. Similarly, vision can
be seen as the ultimate destination in the journey of your life or career, and in the
same way, it can inform and guide all the decisions you make along the way.
You see, vision is relevant to the present and this is why It is so important. It is not
some distant, far off thing in the future. It has a real impact on what you are doing
today, and what you are doing today has a real impact on whether or not your vision
will be achieved.
What vision are you following right now? What goals do you need to set in order to achieve it?
This practical course will get you exploring the subject of vision and goal setting in a very challenging and real way. It is based on the proposition that we each have a vision waiting to be discovered and followed.
You will learn how to reconnect with your vision and allow it to practically guide your plans and the real achievement of your goals. You will be encouraged to explore your chief attributes and talents as well as their application. This programme is practical, revealing and has a profound impact on participants.
If you want to develop yourself as a leader, you’d better get clear about what it is that you yourself are following.
What leads you, people will not follow.
What you follow, will lead others.
